We are buying a property in Bradford. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Santander. Bradford conveyancing solicitors are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Santander?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Santander conducted the survey? Have you informed Santander as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Santander conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, UBS are being a right pain. The Bradford solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Bradford took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Planning to complete next month on a basement flat in Bradford. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they are sending me a report on Monday. What should I be looking out for?
Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Bradford should include some of the following:
-
Does the lease prohibit wood flooring? What you can do if another tenant in the building breaches a clause of their lease? Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your property and do you know what it means in practice? if lease caters for for a reserve fund? Whether the lease restricts you from letting out the flat, or working from home

If a Bradford lease has fewer than eighty years it will affect the salability of the property. Check with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have been the owner of the property for 24 months in order to be entitled to carry out a lease extension. This information is important as a) areas could cause problems in the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where services remain unpaid b) if the tenants have a dispute with the running of the building you will want to know about it Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the company managing the building as they can either make your life much simpler or problematic. As the owner of a leasehold property you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to practical issues such as the cleanliness of the common parts. Ask other people what they think of their service. Finally, investigate as to the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the appropriate party and precisely what it includes.
My wife and I have had DIP from Britannia who have advised we could borrow up to £218k. When do we need to instruct a solicitor for conveyancing? Bradford is where we are buying.
You can instruct a lawyer now and ask them to generate a file for you. This will kickstart: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memorandum to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to send out the draft paperwork. That being said, do not instruct your conveyancer to order searches until you receive your valuation report from Britannia and you are content to proceed.
